We disassemble what the window profile should be, we are talking about the features of double-glazed windows, window mechanisms and fittings. At the end - an example of step-by-step installation of plastic windows in a panel house.
The window is not only frames and double-glazed windows, but also accessories, elements of the mounting seam and trim. And besides, a variety of additional devices (ventilation, sunscreen), many of which can be installed at work or included in the product package. Let's start with the framework of the design.
What to pay attention to when choosing windows
1. Window profile
The charter from old windows, of which in winter blows, from the stamps and mold on the frames, we first we demand from the company so that the window is warm. Meanwhile, for this it is not necessary to overpay for "premium" products.
The first thing you have to choose is the brand and the name of the window profile system. Cheaper than just (5.5-6 thousand rubles per 1 m2) There are products from three-hour profiles of classes in and from the old European rule DIN EN 12 608. Examples of such systems - DeceUninck "Forward", Rehau Euro-Design, Proplex Optima . They have a satisfactory heat transfer resistance (about 0.70 m2 ° C / W), therefore the frames are not freezed even at -25 ° C. But because of the small thickness of the outer walls of profiles (2-2.5 mm), the frames are obtained not as strong as they would like. There is a risk that over time the sash will be saved, it is difficult to achieve resistance to hacking - this quality is important to those who live in the first and last floors.
The following price category is 6-7 thousand rubles. for 1 m2. It includes constructions from three-dimensional class A profiles (such as KBE Etalon or Veka Euroline) and five-chamber profiles of classes A and B (for example, DeceUninck "Favorit", Proplex-Premium, Rehau Grazio, Rehau Delight-Design, etc.). As a rule, they are sufficiently reliable, and the choice depends mainly on your aesthetic preferences: profiles differ in the form of a section, the nature of the surface (matte, silky matte or glossy), possible lamination colors.
The windows of six and more chambers and heat transfer resistance from 0.87 m2 • ° C / W are already more than 9 thousand rubles. for 1 m2. They are designed for the northern regions, and in the middle lane the costs of their purchase will justify themselves in a private house, heated electricity.
Today, the windows of some popular sizes (for large-scale panel houses) began to sell in building supermarkets. As a rule, these are high-quality products from white and laminated three-skimmer profiles (two or three-three available), with the simplest rotary fittings, without ventilation valves and mosquito nets.
2. Gluckle
The most popular glass windows in a temperate climate is a two-chamber thickness of 32-36 mm. If you are interested in energy saving (for example, acquire a window for a loggia, in which you plan to equip a small office), you can order a double-glazed glass with internal low-emission glass and cameras filled with inert gas. This window will cost only 10-15% more expensive, and in many companies, when buying structures from five-chamber profiles, this option is already included in the price.However, the city is often more important to improve the soundproofing of the window. For this, a special glass unit with an outer glass of 6 mm thick, which will increase the cost of the final product by about 20%. If you want to acquire an anti-vandal glass with outdoor tempered glass or triplex, get ready to pay additionally up to 40% of the initial price price.
3. Window mechanisms
Preference should be given to window fittings of leading brands: G.U., Fuhr, Hautau, Maco, Roto, Ziegenia. It is not necessary to save on the functions of the slotted ventilation, which, in fact, replaces the vents, as well as to protect against slamming with a draft. It does not hurt and microlift, which compensates for the sash savings. In addition, the standards are prescribed to equip locking mechanisms with locks or baby security blockers (from 1000 rubles per shutter). Well, on the first and recent floors, anti-burglar fittings should be installed, which, by the way, adds no more than 10% to the cost of the window and is often provided in the basic configuration.
For a warm glazing of the loggia, it is better to choose the windows from the profiles of a mounting depth of 70 mm. The lower part of the binding can be filled with sandwich panels. In the absence of parapet, a metal safety fence should be installed
4. Additions and applications
After installing PVC windows, the humidity always increases in the apartment, so in the absence of other supply ventilation, it makes sense to equip windows with built-in ventilation valves.
As a rule, mortal folding valves are assembled. At the place of their installation make a slotted slot or drill a row of holes in the box profiles and sash. From the inside it is closed with a lid-diffuser, and outside - an acoustic visor. The valve is equipped with a petal flap reacting to the outdoor pressure: when the wind is strengthened, the petal is partially overlaps the vent hole. In addition, air flow can be adjusted manually. The throughput capacity of such a device is up to 60 m3 / h (this is more than enough for a bedroom or a cabinet). It is only 800-2500 rubles. With the installation, which is desirable to order a window manufacturer. However, the valve of this type has no filter (there is only a grid of insects) and does not respond to the state of the atmosphere inside the building.
A higher level of comfort is able to provide automatic hygroregulated valves. The design is based on a synthetic fiber sensor, which responses to a change in air humidity in the room. Dust protection provides a tissue filter. The device skips up to 45 m3 / h, can be mounted both vertically and horizontally and costs about 4 thousand rubles. The valve models with a bandwidth of 5-20 m3 / h does not make sense.
Do not forget about the mosquito net - frame (on snags) or rolled. The first practical and inexpensive (approximately 1200 rubles per flap), but they need to be removed for the winter, the second is more convenient, but also cost 2-3 times more expensive.
Window accessories should have a function of protection against erroneous action so that the sash does not fall out when the handle is wrong
And adjustable trumps will help strengthen the clamp and get rid of draft
Installation of windows and trim
Installation according to GOST 30971-2012 - this is also an option that will cost 1000-1500 rubles. outside the window. For this money, the master not only insulation the mounting seams and waterproof them outside, but also protect them from moisture generated inside the apartment - for this a foil tape or polymer mastic will be used. From the option you can refuse, but then you need to trace the seams to be pairing before turning out the slopes.
Automatic sash control will cost much more expensive than valves: they will have to buy electromechanisms for sash (the price of each - 3-5 thousand rubles) and the control unit with the timer or temperature sensor and humidity (at least 8 thousand rubles)
Finish Piere
Window firms provide services for express finishing of the proof (from 4 thousand rubles). The slopes are performed from the hollow or multilayer plastic panels and set inexpensive, usually also plastic windowsill. This option is optimal for the caught apartments, where unwanted wet and dusty work.
However, if you do the repair, then the slopes are better to plaster - so they will look aesthetical. The windowsill can be ordered from wood (from 8 thousand rubles. For 1 m²), from a wood-polymer composite (from 12 thousand rubles per 1 m2) or even quartz agglomerate (from 15 thousand rubles per 1 m2) .
Installation of the window in the panel house
Frame without flaps install in the opening on the mounting wedges and drilled holes under the fasteners
In this case, the position of the window is adjusted by laser level
and hang out the sash.
Pre-moisturizing the surface, fill the mounting seam of polyurethane foam with a low expansion coefficient and hang out.
Next, waiting about half an hour, the composition is finished, after which it is possible to start a low-end installation, low-off panels and windowsill
